Shockwave S5-LW Suspension Base – Black (SW-05026-B)

Upgrade your ride comfort with the Shockwave S5-LW Suspension Base (SW-05026-B), a lightweight, high-performance marine suspension seat base designed to reduce the impact of waves and improve onboard comfort. Ideal for recreational boaters, this system helps minimize fatigue and enhances safety during extended time on the water.

Engineered as an entry-level suspension solution, the S5-LW is perfect for freshwater boats, coastal cruisers, and light offshore use. Its advanced 3-link forward action suspension system works in combination with a custom-tuned air spring shock to absorb impacts and smooth out rough rides. 

The system provides 4 inches of vertical travel and approximately 1.5 inches of forward travel, effectively reducing the jarring forces caused by wave impact and sudden deceleration.  This results in a more comfortable and controlled seating experience, especially in choppy conditions.

Constructed from anodized A360 cast aluminum with a powder-coated finish and stainless steel hardware, the S5-LW is built for durability and corrosion resistance in marine environments.  Its compact, lightweight design (approx. 20.5 lbs) allows for easy installation and compatibility with a wide range of seats and boat configurations. 

Designed and manufactured in Canada, this suspension base is trusted by recreational boaters looking for improved comfort without the complexity of heavier-duty systems.
